Opportunistic wireless fronthaul system and method for uav-assisted communication network

Abstract

A communication system and method for on-demand establishment of communication infrastructure over the target area comprising multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) mounted Flying Remote Radio Heads (F-RRH) (106) to provide communication services over the target area, one or more Static Remote Radio Heads (S-RRH) (102), one or more Base Band unit (BBU) antennas (103), optical fronthaul link (104) for connecting the S-RRH (102) and the BBU antennas (103) to a BBU-pool (101) and transceiver module on the F-RRH (106) for connecting with BBU antennas (103) through a dedicated optical fronthaul link (104) and/or connecting with transceiver module on the S-RRH (102) through an extended wireless fronthaul link (108), whereby each of the F-RRH transceiver modules is enabled for an opportunistic fronthauling which associates the F-RRH to its nearest working S-RRH for faster establishment of the fronthaul link though spectrum prediction and sensing.
